Verdict

TRIPLE SALUTE (3) was in the frame two back at Mornington then was handy up to the turn against stiffer opposition last time before tiring quickly over 7f at Sandown-Hillside. Drops back to a sprinting trip third-up with Egan taking over and is ideally placed to return to form. BARDIA'S DREAM (6) last appeared when she finished down the track in a tougher contest over 6 ½f at Sandown-Hillside on February 4. Has found the right race fresh and has been readied with two jumpouts. HIGH AMBITIONS (8) was a brave maiden winner fresh at Sale but has since failed to go on with it. Will find this easier and is drawn cosy. Happy to give another chance. COSMIC CHARGER (4) returns after a spell of five-and-a-half months. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 6f at Seymour. One to consider with two jumpouts under his belt and the benefit of a 7lbs claim.
